Nuclear structure ofTc94

Abstract
Levels in Tc94 up to an excitation of 4.5 MeV were populated by means of the Mo92(He3,p)Tc94 reaction at EHe3=25 MeV. Distorted-wave Born-approximation analyses of the proton angular distributions lead to spin and parity assignments for several levels. Coupled channel calculations predict that contributions of a sequential (pn) transfer mechanism are important and angular distributions for the lowest 0+, 1+, and 2+ states are better accounted for by interference effects between one- and two-step processes. A possible 0+ state at 2.72 MeV excitation is suggested to be the [d52pd52n] antianalog of the Mo94 ground state.
